Head-to-head verdict
Two GLP-1 providers, ruled side by side on The Verdict Score — our published six-factor rubric. Same yardstick, and no score is adjusted for payment.
An established national telehealth marketplace carrying real brand-name GLP-1s — Wegovy (pen and pill), Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — where most programs we rank carry none, plus provider-by-provider price transparency.
Visit Sesame CareA LegitScript-certified desk that pairs low-cost compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound path — carrying an FDA warning letter from September 2025.
Visit Sprout HealthSesame Care takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 87/100 to 86/100 (grade B+ vs B). Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program. Sprout Health still earns its place — patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding.
Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.
Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.
